In 2007, Eric Lindholm and Daniel Nickleski founded Sound Works Productions by offering sound systems for small local clubs and festivals.
Over the years, Sound Works expanded its services and entered the corporate AV market by acquiring Bridgewater Rentals, a staple in the AV industry since the 1970s.
Sound Works continued to broaden its offerings by adding lighting and video services, operating under the name Vantage AV to better communicate the new services.
In 2023, Vantage Stage was created after Sound Works purchased a fleet of mobile stages to help event planners quickly get all their production services and gear from one place.
Looking back, we’ve grown into a full production services company that provides efficient, creative, and flawless service for approximately 450 events yearly, such as HYROX, Northwestern’s Dillo Day, meetings for the University of Chicago, and the Joliet Blues Fest.
That’s why all our brands are now under one name — Vantage Production Group — your one-stop shop for all things event-related.
Whether it’s a corporate event, a festival, or a concert, we’ve got you covered. You can still expect the same easy, stress-free service from your favorite production planning crew, all under the same ownership.
